Salmonella enterica strain FDA1072810-C001-001

Salmonella enterica strain FDA1072810-C001-001 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized as a microaerophilic chemoorganotroph. This strain typically exists in chains or as single cells and possesses flagella, although it lacks mobility. It has an optimal growth temperature of 37°C, placing it in the mesophilic range. Notably, it contains a single replicon and is surrounded by two membranes. The habitat of this strain is host-associated, indicating its presence in various animal and plant hosts. Identified hosts for Salmonella enterica FDA1072810-C001-001 include Homo sapiens, Gallus gallus (chickens), and several other metazoan organisms, as well as plant species such as Solanum lycopersicum (tomatoes) and Hordeum vulgare (barley). This broad host range suggests that the strain can adapt to different biological environments, which may facilitate its transmission and survival. Salmonella enterica is known to be associated with several health effects in humans and animals, including bacteremia, acute gastroenteritis, and foodborne illnesses such as food poisoning and typhoid fever. These health impacts underscore the potential public health risks posed by this strain. The free-living biotic relationship of Salmonella enterica strain FDA1072810-C001-001 points to its ecological versatility, allowing it to thrive in diverse environments, including those associated with both animal and plant hosts. This adaptability may contribute to its persistence in the environment and its role in zoonotic transmission, highlighting the importance of monitoring this strain in food safety and public health contexts.
